Cottage Wreath

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

We've made it to the weekend!

My back & my left hip is still giving me a bit of grief this morning. I'm sure the ac being on last night did not help my arthritis but hopefully in a few days I will get back to feeling better. The last week has been a challenge on my back with helping to lift furniture and boxes and as careful as I was, I am still feeling the strain. 

Advil, Ben Gay & my heating pad all have become my friends!

Today I have a monochromatic card to share with you using the Cottage Wreath set. It is probably my most favorite stamp set because I love how versatile this set is. It can be used at anytime of the year! With the summer winding down and being reminded that Fall is around the corner I decided to make this a card for Fall.

I am really missing my Soft Suede color since SU! retired it in May. I resorted to pulling out Pecan Pie which replaced it and so far I like it! My wreath was stamped in Pecan Pie and I added a bow that was diecut from the Country Wreath Dies. Then I stamped the trio of leaves in Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler & Pumpkin Pie and added them to my sentiment with a Linen Thread bow. Was pleased with how it turned out but I think it needs some sparkle! Before I mail it out I just might add some clear Rhinestones.
